Back in His Presence- A Letter on Returning to Mass
Welcome back to Mass. We thank you for your patience as we navigate through this time.
Mass attendance is still limited to 30% of church capacity according to Bishop Malloy's directives.
Please call the office (815-562-2370) and speak to Leslie, advising her of which Mass you will attend (Saturday Vigil Mass at 5:00 pm or the 7:30 am or 9:00 am Sunday). If you need to leave a message, she will ONLY call you back if your desired Mass is already full.
For the 11:00 am Spanish Mass you will need to speak with Paty or leave her a message.
You do NOT need to call for daily Mass.
Your understanding is most appreciated.
Have a blessed day!

Dear Parishioners,
I wish to thank you all for your patience and understanding as we continue the slow process of reopening St. Patrick Church. Our efforts and your cooperation have allowed us to move ahead in bringing more parishioners back to church this weekend.
We have received further guidance from Bishop Malloy as follows:
"With this letter, I am communicating to you the next step in our process. Effective with the Masses for the weekend of June 6–7, parishes that have already been certified and which have celebrated for at least one week Masses in the presence of the ten faithful may increase the number of the faithful present to a number not to exceed 30% of the seating capacity of the parish church. The actual number of the faithful who can be accommodated in each church will vary from that maximum number in order to faithfully implement the necessary spacing for social distancing."
Phone calls will be made to our St. Patrick parishioners to fill the three Sunday Masses (7:30 am, 9:00 am, and 11:00 am).
Again, your faithfulness to the St. Patrick Community is most appreciated, and we look forward to the day we will be back together as a Catholic Community in Action.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Ruben Herrera
